Goldsmith and Brauer, p. 213-215
Less intuitive is how periods of economic decline may increase the likelihood of external conflict. Political science literature has contributed a moderate degree of attention to the impact of economic decline and the security and defence behaviour of interdependent states. Research in this vein has been considered at systemic, dyadic and national levels. Several notable contributions follow. First, on the systemic level, Pollins (2008) advances Modelski and Thompson~’s AND the causes and connections between global economic conditions and security conditions remain unknown. Second, on a dyadic level, Copeland~’s (1996, 2000) theory of AND on its own or because it triggers protectionist moves by interdependent states.4 Third, others have considered the link between economic decline and external armed conflict at a national level. Blomberg and Hess (2002) find a strong correlation between internal conflict and external conflict, particularly during periods of economic downturn. They write: The linkages between internal and external conflict and prosperity are strong and mutually reinforcing. Economic conflict tends to spawn internal conflict, which in turn returns the favour. Moreover, the presence of a recession tends to amplify the extent to which international and external conflicts self-reinforce each other. (Blomberg 26 Hess, 2002. p. 89) Economic decline has also been linked with an increase in the likelihood of terrorism (Blomberg, Hess, 26 Weerapana, 2004), which has the capacity to spill across borders and lead to external tensions. Furthermore, crises generally reduce the popularity of a sitting government. "Diversionary theory AND popularity, are statistically linked to an increase in the use of force. In summary, recent economic scholarship positively correlates economic integration with an increase in the frequency of economic crises, whereas political science scholarship links economic decline with external conflict at systemic, dyadic and national levels.5 This implied connection between integration, crises and armed conflict has not featured prominently in the economic-security debate and deserves more attention.

Miller and Elwood, 98 (Vincent and James, Founder and Vice-President of the International Society for Individual Liberty, "Free Trade or Proectionism? The Case Against Trade Restrictions," www.isil.org/resources/lit/free-trade-protectionism.html) When the government of Country "A" puts up trade barriers against the goods of Country "B", the government of Country "B" will naturally retaliate by erecting trade barriers against the goods of Country "A". The result? A trade war in which both sides lose. But all too often a depressed economy is not the only negative outcome of a trade war . . . WHEN GOODS DON’T CROSS BORDERS, ARMIES OFTEN DO History is not lacking in examples of cold trade wars escalating into hot shooting wars: Europe suffered from almost non-stop wars during the 17th and 18th centuries, AND of the decade. The depression in turn led to World War II. THE ~231 DANGER TO WORLD PEACE The world enjoyed its greatest economic growth during the relatively free trade period of 1945-1970, a period that also saw no major wars. Yet we again see trade barriers being raised around the world by short-sighted politicians. Will the world again end up in a shooting war as a result of these economically-deranged policies? Can we afford to allow this to happen in the nuclear age?

Nov 27, 2013 (International Business Times com Delivered by Newstex) Twelve years ago, negotiations began in Doha, Qatar, to further liberalize trade rules around the world. Twelve years and numerous impasses later, negotiators are preparing to meet on the Indonesian island of Bali in a last-ditch effort to salvage the Doha Round of world trade talks and the credibility of the World Trade Organization. Next Tuesday, trade ministers from WTO member states will begin three days of meetings in Bali for the ninth WTO Ministerial Conference — the fifth Ministerial Conference since the launch of the Doha Round in 2001. The biannual conference isn’t even about concluding the Doha Round. The aim is for ministers to sign a less ambitious deal, or Doha-lite. Such a deal would add 241 trillion to the world economy~1~ and create 21 million jobs, 18 million of them in developing countries, according to the International Chamber of Commerce. U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, in his keynote address~2~ at the WTO Public Forum 2013 on Oct. 1, lamented that ’in its nearly 20-year history, the WTO has never once produced a new, fully multilateral trade agreement.’ A successful outcome at Bali, while short of the full Doha package, will also give the WTO a much-needed boost of confidence as a trade negotiating forum. This is especially true at a time when countries are pushing forward with ambitious new regional deals including a Trans Pacific Partnership~3~ and a Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, outside the WTO framework.

There’s no alternative to multilateral trade – it is a pre-requisite for global stability
Panitchpakdi, 4 – Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (Supachai, "American Leadership and the World Trade Organization: What is the Alternative?" 2/26/2004, http://www.wto.org/english/news_e/spsp_e/spsp22_e.htm)
The second point is that strengthening the world trading system is essential to America’s wider AND at the epicentre of a more interdependent world — cannot afford to ignore. These priorities must continue to guide US policy — as they have done since the AND the system can move forward; when it withdraws, the system drifts. The fact that US leadership is essential, does not mean it is easy. AND — let alone Seattle — underline how challenging managing the WTO can be. But these challenges can be exaggerated. They exist precisely because so many countries have AND if the challenges have increased, it is because the stakes are higher. The bigger challenge to American leadership comes from inside — not outside — the United AND information technology — pay 10 per cent more than the average American wage. We especially need to inject some clarity — and facts — into the current debate over the outsourcing of services jobs. Over the next decade, the US is projected to create an average of more than 2 million new services jobs a year — compared to roughly 200,000 services jobs that will be outsourced. I am well aware that this issue is the source of much anxiety in America AND will not soon embark again on such a burst of job-creation. America’s openness to service-sector trade — combined with the high skills of its AND the conditions for global growth and job creation here and around the world. I believe Americans realize what is at stake. The process of opening to global trade can be disruptive, but they recognize that the US economy cannot grow and prosper any other way. They recognize the importance of finding global solutions to shared global problems. Besides, what is the alternative to the WTO? Some argue that the world’s AND complement to the multilateral system, but they can never be a substitute. There is a bigger danger. By treating some countries preferentially, bilateral and regional AND when intended to spur free trade, they can ultimately risk undermining it. This is in no one’s interest, least of all the United States. America AND ideas — was essential to peace and prosperity, a more just world. It is a vision that has emerged pre-eminent a half century later. AND constrained, not by multilateral rules, but by the absence of rules. All of these were America’s objectives. The US needs to be both clearer about AND democracy, it is the worst possible system except for all the others. I do not believe America’s long-term economic interests have changed. Nor do AND medicines for poor countries, in which the US played a pivotal role. It would be a tragic mistake if the Doha Round, which offers the world a once-in-a-generation opportunity to eliminate trade distortions, to strengthen trade rules, and open markets across the world, were allowed to founder. We need courage and the collective political will to ensure a balanced and equitable outcome. What is the alternative? It is a fragmented world, with greater conflict and uncertainty. A world of the past, not the future — one that America turned away from after 1945, and that we should reject just as decisively today. America must lead. The multilateral trading system is too important to fail. The world depends on it. So does America.
